Hi,
In this case, you'll uninstall iTunes and reinstall it, since it's a service used for Apple software like iTunes and Apple devices.

Connect the iPhone's USB cable to the PC and select the option to trust the PC to recognize the iPhone.
Give feedback if the information was useful or not.
Thanks

.inf files aren't meant to be ran which is why you're unable to install it that way. In order to install it you'll have to open up your command line with admin privileges. Once you've done that run the following code: pnputil /add-driver "C:\path\to\usbmux64.inf" /install and press enter...This should work but if it still doesn't install you'll have to run pnputil /enum-drivers to see if it's staged and then go to Device Manager, search for "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under Universal Serial Bus (USB) controllers and then update the driver from there pointing at the .inf file.
